ok so im finally going to be reassembling my truck next week and was going to paint some of the engine parts just to clean it up and make it look good. while i was in the paint isle looking a guy was looking at some high heat exhaust header paint. we got to talking and he said he used it on the headers for his rat rod race car because it reduces the heat in the engine compartment and keeps him from welding his starter together because his starter sits right next to his headers. what im wondering is if any one here has heard of this because i was thinking of painting the stock manifolds and the cross over on my 3vze to help protect the head gasket. thanks in advance for any help.

Paint will not act as a heat shield. Its "high heat" because it wont melt off when exposed to the extreme tempatures of headers and the like.

If you want to do something about heat, try heat wrap. I did this to my 3vze.

how has the wrap worked so far i also looked at that was just wondering because the wrap is like 50 bucks but if it works i wont hesitate to buy it
 
Not sure, havent had a chance to use it yet. Should be able to start the truck this weekend, it hasn't run in a little over a year.
